Head of Homebuilder Markets

Build the institutional capital standard for a massive, under-standardized housing market.

A well-capitalized real estate capital platform is creating the rails that let institutional capital reliably fund regional and local homebuilders at scale. The market need is clear: the United States needs more homes, capable builders need more efficient capital, and institutional investors need a governed, data-rich way to trust the asset. This role sits at the center of that gap.

This is not a mature-book management seat. You will report directly to the CEO and help define the product, underwriting standard, data requirements, pricing logic, and capital-partner relationships that make homebuilder finance investable on a programmatic basis.

What You Will Build

• Translate what institutional investors need to trust homebuilder finance into the loan product, underwriting framework, data standard, and operating controls.
• Stand up forward-flow, whole-loan, structured credit, or comparable capital relationships against that standard.
• Own the structuring, pricing, eligibility criteria, risk logic, and investor-facing explanation needed to clear the institutional bar.
• Help turn bespoke builder/developer lending into a repeatable asset capital can understand, price, monitor, and buy.
• Partner directly with the CEO on market design, capital formation, product strategy, and execution.
• Build credibility with sophisticated investors by speaking the language of risk, structure, collateral, performance, triggers, reps, warranties, and accountability.

What We Are Looking For

The strongest fit is a markets-up structured credit builder: someone with real product depth who is hungry to create a category, not just operate inside one.

You may come from structured credit, structured products, trading, structuring, sales-and-trading, whole-loan, forward-flow, RMBS, MBS, ABS, CLO, private credit, or a comparable institutional credit seat. The label matters less than the depth. You should understand how capital prices risk, how institutional buyers evaluate assets, and what has to be true before capital will commit at scale.

You should bring:

• Real structured credit or structured products product depth.
• Strong market awareness and risk/pricing judgment.
• Experience with institutional capital, forward-flow, whole-loan, securitization, warehouse, private credit, or comparable credit-market structures.
• Evidence that you have built, changed, originated, structured, or materially driven something important without waiting for a mature playbook.
• The ability to translate investor requirements into a product, data, underwriting, and accountability standard.
• Comfort operating directly with a CEO in a lean, high-ownership environment.
• Strong written and verbal communication with sophisticated capital, credit, and executive stakeholders.

Strong Plus Signals

• Homebuilder finance, residential construction lending, builder/developer lending, SFR, bridge, A&D, JV equity, residential credit, or real estate capital markets exposure.
• Experience negotiating or supporting forward-flow agreements, whole-loan purchases, credit facilities, securitizations, or institutional capital programs.
• A track record of measurable deal, production, mandate, portfolio, or platform-building outcomes.
• Prior work in a lean or ambiguous environment where process, standards, and infrastructure had to be built while the business was already moving.

Who This Is Not For

This is not the right role for someone who wants a fully built desk, a large support team, or a narrow relationship-management mandate. It is also not a fit for a pure generalist, a pure relationship banker without product depth, or a pure systems architect who has never carried a structure to capital.

The right person wants the upside and responsibility of building the standard.

Location

This role is based in New York, New York and works in the office in Manhattan.

Compensation

• Base salary: $250,000
• On-target total cash compensation: $500,000
• Equity participation: yes

The compensation structure is designed for someone who values meaningful upside from helping create a category-defining business, not just extracting dollar-for-dollar cash compensation from an existing seat.

Interview Process
